Aguja Brava

Fierce Needle

Aguja Brava

She was a sharp and chain-wearing knifeEra una naifa pilla y cadenera
Who walked with the cops, a tough oneQue andaba con la yuta cabrero
With a record to the police, overbearingCon prontuario a la gurda, sobradora
And a good-looking womanY una pintusa de percanta buena

He, who had been a smooth talkerÉl, que había sido un liso bien cheronca
A pimp and spur cowboyUn caferata de tapín y espuela
Left his smuggling field, oh, what a mess!Patió su cancha jontrabando, ¡oi'dioca!
From mattress maker to cutting clothDe colchonero y refilando tela

The longipietro loved the cashier so muchTanto amó el longipietro a la taquera
That he endured, enduredQue aguantiñó, robreca
That the night gang nicknamed himQue la barra nochera lo apodara
For his hat and his dark skinPor pamela y por merlo mishé
Fierce needleAguja brava

And so ended a smart guy, fierce needleY así terminó un piola, aguja brava
Who, for love, ended up carding woolQue por amor quedó cardando lana
Before, he took fabric from the minesAntes, sacaba tela de las minas
And now he makes mattresses for the copsY ahora le hace colchones a la cana
